Description: Thallus foliose-umbilicate, heteromerous, dorsiventral, monophyllous, rather large, (10-)13-30(-45) mm wide, attached by a central holdfast, rather thin, 0.1-0.35(-0.5) mm thick when wet. Upper surface brown to dark brown, epruinose, bulging; lower surface more or less concolorous with upper surface, distinctly reticulate, erhizinate. Upper cortex pseudoparenchymatous, of anticlinally arranged hyphae, often with a brown pigment near the surface, overlain by an epinecral layer of compressed hyphae; medulla white, I-; lower cortex colourless except the brown outermost part. Perithecia numerous, immersed in the thallus and scattered over almost the whole upper surface (appearing as black dots), the ostiole immersed or slightly projecting, without involucrellum. Exciple colourless except in the brown uppermost part; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid. Asci 8-spored, clavate, I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of an endotunica to form a delicate rostrum, Verrucaria-type. Ascospores simple to rarely 1(-4)-septate, (14-)16-21(-26) x (5.5-)6- 8(-10.5) µm. Pycnidia rather common, black, sometimes immersed in warts, multi-chambered. Conidia short-bacilliform.
